Edward Delaney, 77, of South Salem, played key role in county water and construction projects

Edward Delaney

Edward (Eddie) J. Delaney Jr., 77, of South Salem, died March 31. Born in Boston on December 10, 1947, he grew up in Yorktown Heights. Delaney attended St. Mary’s High School where he was a standout athlete on their cross country, basketball, and baseball teams. He went on to earn a degree in chemical engineering from Villanova University in 1970.

From a young age, Delaney could be found working at his father’s service station, where he became an ace mechanic known for his signature catchphrase, “Happy Motoring.” He had a 35-year career with the County of Westchester, where he played a key role in major water and construction projects. After retiring in 2010, he continued his work as a consultant for Bibbo & Associates. 

Delaney made his home in South Salem, on the shores of Lake Waccabuc, where, his family said, he found joy in life by the water, especially out on his boat. For many years he served as president of the Lake Waccabuc Association and played a key role in organizing the end-of-season lake tradition of festivities with bagpipe music.

His family said he will be remembered for his magnetic personality, infectious humor, and legendary storytelling. To his softball buddies, he will always be “God Frog,” the fearless leader of a merry band of misfits — who rarely won but always had a great time.

A devoted Boston Red Sox fan, Delaney managed to survive life among a sea of Yankees supporters. In football season, his heart belonged to the New York Giants.

Delaney is survived by his wife of 40 years, Gail, his brother Mike (Maricel), and four nieces and a nephew. He was predeceased by his parents, Marie Rose Delaney and Edward J. Delaney Sr.

A funeral was held April 8 at Clark Associates Funeral Home in Katonah. Interment followed at South Salem Cemetery.

Donations can be made to the Lewisboro Parks & Recreation Department, checks payable to the Town of Lewisboro and mailed 99 Elmwood Road, South Salem, NY 10590.
